After a pause, Lloyd added, “It’s that director from today’s trending topics, Sebastian.”
Gavyn was disturbed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he opened his sharp eyes.
“Not seen.”
This kind of person doesn’t even deserve to meet him!
Lloyd’s voice was hesitant, “Mr. Delacruz, he didn’t come alone. His wife is here too, crying pitifully. It’s not a good look. What do you want me to do? Should I drive them away or…?”
Gavyn paused for a moment, then reached up and rubbed his forehead.
“Bring them in.”
Lloyd hurriedly responded with a nod.
In no time, Lloyd led the two people to the study. “Mr. Delacruz, I’ve brought them here.”
Upon seeing Gavyn, Sebastian immediately bowed and greeted him with a flattering smile, “Mr. Delacruz, Mr. Delacruz, how are you?”
However, his bruised and swollen face, with the cheekbones bulging high, made his eyes appear as if they were mere slits, giving him a somewhat comical appearance.
Following closely behind him was a middle-aged woman with a broad face and full forehead. She had her hair in a bun and wore a pair of large gemstone earrings on her cheeks. Her appearance and aura exuded both fierceness and wealth, making it clear that she was a well-off lady.
Although she appeared somewhat distant, upon meeting Gavyn, she was still polite and respectfully called out, “Mr. Delacruz.”
Lloyd watched Freya’s demeanor and thought to himself that the upbringing of someone from a wealthy family was indeed better than that of a seasoned hustler from the lower class.
Even when asking for help, one should not wear their eagerness on their face. Instead, they should strike a balance, being neither too direct nor too obsequious.
Legend has it that Sebastian, back in the day, was a university student who had just graduated. In his field, he was considered a newcomer with no connections, struggling to find his footing and facing setbacks everywhere he went.
If it weren’t for the fortunate encounter with Freya Coop, who came from a wealthy and prestigious family, Sebastian wouldn’t have been able to raise the initial funds for his first movie, let alone invite a big-name star to take the lead role.
Unfortunately, most men in the world tend to be blinded by beauty, forgetting their principles. Once they rise to great heights, they often look down on the ordinary people beneath them.
Once he gained power, he put his original wife and family property behind him. In the end, it was still his first wife who had to accompany him in apologizing and making amends.
His character is just terrible, such a disgrace to men!
Sebastian was nothing in front of Gavyn, but his wife came from a good background, so Gavyn would still give them some consideration out of respect.
He lifted his chin slightly and said calmly, “Sit.”
Freya was still being modest, “How could I accept this? We came here today to apologize…”
Before the words had even finished, Sebastian, without any sense of awareness, had already sat down with a grin on his face. Freya slapped him on the back and, twisting his ear, yanked him back “Get up!”
“Ouch, it hurts. Darling, please let go.”
Sebastian winced in pain, repeatedly apologizing, while Freya furrowed her brows and gave him a meaningful glance.
That means, “Well, hurry up and say it!”
Sebastian squeezed a few tears from the corners of his eyes, wiping them with his sleeve, and began to cry out in deep pain and regret, “Mr. Delacruz, I’ve truly learned my lesson now, and I won’t dare to speak carelessly again. My company is gone now, and all the family assets have been used to pay off debts. Look at how my wife has beaten me… It’s really not a life fit for a human!”
Lloyd watched as the person beside him had a bruised and swollen face, crying with a mixture of sobs and tears. He found it amusing and wanted to laugh, but he held back with great effort.
Gavyn slowly twirled the pen in his hand, his expression cold and detached, “You deserve all of this.”
